Can this be used outdoor (e.g., on terrace or balcony of a building)? I'm asking because is says "indoor" clothes drying rack. Thanks!

Yes, I think they just call it an indoor because a lot of people use these inside if they don't have a clothes line. I've put mine outside before on our back deck to help the clothes dry faster. :0)

I usually set this inside...in front of a downstairs sliding door, but I have put it outside on the porch in the sunshine....just love the smell of the fresh air in my clothes. So I think you would be fine using it either way...I would move it outdoors first before you load it up with wet clothes, tho....wouldn't want to torque it out of shape cause those wet clothes, especially my husband's jeans are heavy when wet! Hope this helps!(P.S. I haven't really used the mesh drying surface yet. I just unfastened it, but will probably use it when I start wearing cardigans again as the weather cools.)

I use it on my balcony, and it doesn't seem to be any worse for the wear. That being said, I do bring it inside when my clothes have finished drying.

I wouldn't recommend hanging it outdoors. Potentially you could if you had an area in which the wind would not affect it too significantly and as long as you didn't mind cleaning the many surfaces, which would inevitably get more dust outdoors.

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.

You might be able to, however, since wet laundry is heavy and a breeze is great for drying but complicates the tipping over issue I would say this works best installed as directed into the holder in the ground. Installed this way its very sturdy.

Not designed for outside use--fine for garage storage(shoes by the door--ect) but not something that I would expose to rain, sleet and snow--much too nice --and if you put really heavy items in the compartments it might collapse--designed more for light weight items like shoes or clothing

As Mr. Glover has discovered, you can indeed use this item outside, provided you are taking care to keep it at least somewhat protected from the elements! I hope this answer will assist you.

It is designed for use in dry areas, and non-enclosed, non-dimmable fixtures. So outdoor use is not recommended.

I use it outside. I think it can be vented to use indoors, but not sure. I use it for a portable shower. Everything is mounted on a hand cart and as long as the hose reaches you have hot water.

Don't see why it could not be used outdoors, But keep in mind this unite is not waterproof! These are a excellent unite & move a considerable amount of air. I own two.

Supposedly it may be used indoors but I do not recommend it as it has a very strong odor. I used it in my laundry room last year and it took weeks for the smell to dissipate. Although, that area has very poor ventilation. If the indoor area your considering has really good cross ventilation you may want to try it but use it sparingly. It is a great product and does work, but I use it specifically for my outdoor back and front decks and yard areas.

I think it could be used outdoors. It stands up to moisture fine. But it is a foam, and foams break down eventually. Sunlight would speed up that process.

thin metal. it's relatively light (guessing less than 5 pounds) so it shouldn't be mistaken as a public park grade type rack if that makes sense. I personally have mine in the garage, but yes, you could theoretically use it outdoors. I would probably hit the screws and other pivot points with some silicone just to keep water from entering the frame since it comes in multiple pieces and must be assembled. Thinking it would rust out in a season or two if you didn't take this measure. We've had ours for 2 yrs and it's held up fine so far.

Yes. You could use it outside. It is so versatile. I would however not keep it out there forever. Anything metal will eventually rust, but for laundry days sure!! Let the sunshine!!

It is officially rated for indoor use but if you kept it out of the weather (dry) I don't see why you could not use it outdoors.

I don't think it is really meant for outdoor use. Only if you can protect it from rain or snow. No part of it appears to be moisture proof. I have it in bathroom, but not where water would hit it.

Yes, the slack rack can be used outdoors. I wouldn't keep it outside it's metal and it could rust. Also it's not light so a person may need help to get it out there but it certainly could be used outside.

It is for outdoor use only. I would not use it inside for any reason. Works great outside. Hope this helps.
